Scope Suggestions 20" AR New Build

[Lympago]

I'm building a new 20" AR and need suggestions for the optics.

This is not a Match Rifle but I want a bit more magnification then what I have on my 16" AR. ( Leupold Mark 4 1.5-5x20mm MR/T M2 WITH LaRue LT 104-30 MOUNT)

I have looked at some possible scopes like the Super Sniper SS10X42M and the TR-22R Trijicon 2.5-10x56 Accu-Point 30mm ( NOT SURE I LIKE THE RED TRIANGLE)
The IOR 2.5-10x42 Tactical 30mm Rifle Scope but what reticle? Illuminated MP-8 or First Focal Plane Reticle


I need help...I'm not sure if 10X is the way to go.

The Ranges I get to shoot at are typically out to 300 yards.

Any help is appreciated.

( I'm willing to spend up to 1000.00 )

Than you might consider Trijicon's new Accupoint 2.5-10x56 with the standard duplex and amber dot as one of your options than.

Only you'll know what you like best though in reticle, power, build quality, and price.

I have narrowed it down to a few choices.

Any words of wisdom that may sway me is appreciated.


1. Leupold Mark 4 Long Range Tactical M1 Scope 30mm Tube 4.5-14x 50mm Side Focus Illuminated Tactical Milling Reticle Matte

2. Leupold Mark 4 Long Range Tactical M1 Scope 30mm Tube 4.5-14x 50mm Side Focus Tactical Milling Reticle Matte

3. Leupold Mark 4 Long Range Tactical M1 Scope 30mm Tube 3.5-10x 40mm Side Focus Illuminated Tactical Milling Reticle Matte

4. Leupold Mark 4 Long Range Tactical M1 Scope 30mm Tube 3.5-10x 40mm Side Focus Tactical Milling Reticle Matte

Your first two choices are a lot of scope for 300 yards. They'll work, but the second two will too. For reference, I use the 4.5-14x50mm set up on my bolt rifle. The most magnification I have on an AR is 10x.

You're looking at choice #3 on the AR in the picture.

I'd spring for the illuminated reticle only if you plan on doing any low light shooting. I have them, but I do low light shooting.
